We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role? Actually job summary is like JOB SUMMARY. Could treat as About the role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to map content accordingly. We have: - Work Calendar, FTE, Contract Status, FLSA Status, Reports To, Starting Wage, Salary Schedule/Lane, Benefits, Anticipated Start Date, Priority Screen Date, Positions Available: 1. Some of these are metadata; we should fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. Not headings. - JOB SUMMARY: we can put under

About the role

maybe, or maybe "Job Summary" but they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should use those headings only when content exists. So we need sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (essential functions & responsibilities), Requirements (minimum required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications?), Skills (maybe list of skills?), Benefits (medical benefits only), Pay (starting wage $20 hourly), Schedule (Work Calendar: Hourly, FTE 1.0 up to 40 hrs per week). Also maybe we could include "Schedule" as work calendar. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for each. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from each section. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading; we don't. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is Non-Discrimination Statement; that's EEO boilerplate; we should remove it. Also remove "Work Calendar:** HourlyFTE:** 1.0 (Up to 40 Hours per Week)Contract Status:** Non-ContractFLSA Status:** Non- ExemptReports To:** Principal or Administrative DesigneeStarting Wage:** $ 20.00 hourlySalary Schedule/Lane:** 86/OBenefits:** Medical Benefits OnlyAnticipated Start Date:** 10/05/2026Priority Screen Date:** 09/22/2026 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ** Positions Available: 1**" This is metadata; we can fold into a short

    maybe. We need to preserve all substantive info: Starting wage, benefits, schedule, etc. Let's extract: Job Summary paragraph: The Paraprofessional (Special Education)- Self-Contained helps students navigate everyday challenges by developing and aiding students' daily living, motor and behavioral skills, including but not limited to feeding and toileting, provides one-on-one support to students who may be medically fragile and have severe disabilities. Under the direction of a Special Education teacher, assists in the supervision and instruction of special education students in specific classes such as Diagnostic Kindergarten/1^st^ Grade, Academic Support, Behavior Support, and Essential Elements, data collection and Medicaid documentation. To be successful in this role, the incumbent must demonstrate a high level of patience and the ability to maintain a calm and nurturing demeanor in high-stress situations. This position will also support Essential Elements students during our After-school program. Minimum Required Qualifications: bullet list: - All positions require selected candidates to be fingerprinted and successfully pass a criminal background check. - High school diploma or a recognized equivalent - Per ESSA, interested applicants must be Highly Qualified to be considered for the position and have completed one of the following: - completed at least two years at an accredited higher education institution (minimum 48 semester hours), or obtained an associates (or higher) degree from an accredited higher education institution, or satisfied a rigorous state or local assessment (Parapro Assessment/PRAXIS ETS) with a score of 460 or higher - The higher education institution official transcripts, or college diploma, or a copy of the Paraprofessional Assessment must be provided with your application or upon a contingent offer of employment - Hold or obtain CPR & First Aid Certificate within 2 months of hire - Complete Safety Care Training - Attend Annual Health Services Training - Effective communication skills with both children and adults, including speaking, reading, writing, and understanding English; proficiency in grammar and punctuation - Ability to perform basic math, including calculations using fractions, percentages, and ratios - Experience using standard office equipment (e.g., phone, copy, fax machines etc.) and Microsoft Office Preferred Qualifications: - Experience in a K-12 special education or public employment environment - Spanish or other language proficiency, including ability to read, write, speak, and understand Essential Functions & Responsibilities: long list of duties. We need to turn into

    • items. We also have Employee Supervisory Responsibilities: No (maybe not needed). Work Environment & Physical Demands: mention form and accommodation statement; we could maybe include a short note but it's boilerplate? It's about accommodation request; could be considered EEO? Might be okay to keep as a short paragraph under maybe "Work Environment". But instruction: remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. The accommodation statement is not exactly EEO but related to disability accommodation; might be considered boilerplate. Safer to drop it? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The accommodation request is legal/EEO? Might be considered EEO. I'd drop it. Also the Non-Discrimination Statement definitely drop. Thus final HTML:

      Metadata: Work Calendar: Hourly; FTE: 1.0 (Up to 40 Hours per Week); Contract Status: Non-Contract; FLSA Status: Non-Exempt; Reports To: Principal or Administrative Designee; Starting Wage: $20.00 hourly; Salary Schedule/Lane: 86/O; Benefits: Medical Benefits Only; Anticipated Start Date: 10/05/2026; Priority Screen Date: 09/22/2026; Positions Available: 1.

      Then sections:

      About the role

      Job summary paragraph.

      Responsibilities

      • ... each duty as li

      Requirements

      • ... minimum qualifications

      Qualifications

      Preferred qualifications:

      • ...
      Alternatively combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we have both. Skills: maybe we could list skills from qualifications? But we already have qualifications; we could create Skills section for things like effective communication, basic math, office equipment, etc. But that would duplicate. Better to follow instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements" section that includes both minimum and preferred? But they said use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could have Requirements (minimum), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (maybe list of skills like communication, math, office equipment). However that may be thin. Given we have lots of content, we can have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (minimum) - Qualifications (preferred) - Benefits - Pay - Schedule That seems reasonable. We must not create sections with filler; each has real content. Now we need to extract duties list into li items. Let's copy the Essential Functions & Responsibilities paragraph and split into sensible items. The paragraph: Assist and supervise students as they attend general education classes and provide support according to their Individualized Education Plan (IEP) needs; under the direction of the teacher, utilize knowledge of student's IEP and concepts for Special Education learning to implement learning and behavior plans that meet students' social and behavioral interventions, health care plans, and ensure compliance with IEPs Work with students who may have significant behavior, academic, or personal health care needs, which inc ude feeding, toileting, moving, rolling, pushing, pulling, bending, reaching, stooping, and lifting up to 30 pounds.

Now Minimum Required Qualifications list: - All positions require selected candidates to be fingerprinted and successfully pass a criminal background check. - High school diploma or a recognized equivalent - Per Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), interested applicants must be Highly Qualified to be considered for the position and have completed one of the following: - completed at least two years at an accredited higher education institution (minimum 48 semester hours), or obtained an associates (or higher) degree from an accredited higher education institution, or satisfied a rigorous state or local assessment (Parapro Assessment/PRAXIS ETS) with a score of 460 or higher - The higher education institution official transcripts, or college diploma, or a copy of the Paraprofessional Assessment must be provided with your application or upon a contingent offer of employment - Hold or obtain CPR & First Aid Certificate within 2 months of hire - Complete Safety Care Training - Attend Annual Health Services Training - Effective communication skills with both children and adults, including speaking, reading, writing, and understanding English; proficiency in grammar and punctuation - Ability to perform basic math, including calculations using fractions, percentages, and ratios - Experience using standard office equipment (e.g., phone, copy, fax machines etc
